Electric Drive
There has been some discussion about electric drive vs turbines. If the project concentrated on fusion powered electric propulsion I think they probably would have been able to get their electric motors to a similar power to weight ration of a turbine engine. If the fusion/electric drive is weaker then the turbine drives the Project will be operating at a disadvantage. I feel that they would have been able to boost these systems to at least parity with conventional systems for them to deploy them so widely
